Every Friday, the MusicRadar team submits its own personal favourite music videos and clips on the net.

Some clips we really like, others are simply comedy classics or oddly intriguing. But all are worth watching. This selection has everything from a mic-swallowing Ziggy Stardust-a-like to Lars Ulrich singing for Metallica...

Thom Yorke plays The Clock acoustic"From one end of the technology scale to the other – check out this incredible performance of Thom Yorke playing The Clock (from his electronica influenced album The Eraser) with just an acoustic guitar." CW

D'Angelo's Chicken Grease"Given that his recent greatest hits album is called 'The Best So Far', I'm hopeful that D'Angelo might finally get around to releasing some new material soon. Two albums is hardly enough to accommodate his enormous talent, as this classic clip from The Chris Rock show (featuring ?uestlove on drums, you may notice) demonstrates. If you want more, check out his spellbinding cover of Smokey Robinson's Cruisin'." BR

Marvin Gaye sings and plays piano"Listen to D'Angelo's music and Marvin's influence is easy to hear, so let's watch him running through pared-down versions of Come Get To This and Distant Lover. If you thought that Gaye was just a singer, this should set you right." BR

Lars Ulrich sings for Metallica"With new album Death Magnetic all over the net right now before its release next week, why not revisit a Metallica rarity? Here's the band covering Diamond Head's Am I Evil with (from1:40) Lars Ulrich on vocals "leaping like a wood gnome on coke" and James Hetfield bashing the drums like a caveman. Totally Tap." ML

Noel Gallagher in 1989"No video, but audio of a demo called Hey You that Noel Gallagher recorded in 1989, two years before he joined Oasis. Erm, let's just say he's come quite a way. As has a teenage Peter Doherty, queuing to buy Oasis's Be Here Now in 1997. What a sensible young man he seemed." ML

Led Zeppelin - Moby Dick drum track 'before editing'You wanna hear drumming? You wanna hear The Hammer Of The Gods? Well, sit back, put your earphones on, and check out John Bonham in perhaps his finest hour. Taken as a whole, it's not so much a "rock drum solo," as there's some very hot jazz/big band patterns.
